Install the Wendy agent on your Raspberry Pi 5 to connect it to the Wendy platform.

On your Raspberry Pi, open a terminal (or SSH in) and run:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://install.wendy.sh/agent.sh)"

This installs the Wendy agent and registers it as a system service.

Check that the agent is running:

sudo systemctl status wendy-agent

You should see the service active and running.

Plug in a USB-C cable from your Raspberry Pi 5 to your development machine, or ensure both are on the same local network.

On your development machine, run:

wendy discover
# Set this device as your default
wendy device set-default

You should see your Raspberry Pi 5 appear in the list of discovered devices.

Wendy Discover

Your device is now ready for development! For more information on device discovery and configuration, see Discovering Devices.

Now that the Wendy agent is installed, you can start deploying apps to your device. Check out the Quick Start Guide to build your first app.
